Facility Overview
Long Beach Police Department serves a city of 466,742 people — the largest in this entire network by a wide margin, nearly five times the size of the next-largest city covered in this directory. Its headquarters and booking operation sit at 400 West Broadway in downtown Long Beach.
Scale changes everything about a booking here. A department this size runs a high-volume intake operation: arrests from the port corridor, the downtown entertainment district, Cal State Long Beach, and the city's neighborhoods all funnel through the same facility. Processing after a Long Beach arrest takes longer than at the small independent departments elsewhere in this batch — hours, not minutes.
Cases from Long Beach are heard at the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse at 275 Magnolia Avenue — a modern, high-volume courthouse confirmed to have direct jurisdiction over Long Beach and Signal Hill.
Because Long Beach books locally, the Sheriff's county inmate locator can come back empty in the first hours after an arrest here. No county record exists until a transfer happens — and in a city this size, that gap can stretch.

Long Beach's booking operation is high-volume — processing takes longer than at smaller city jails, especially on weekends and after major downtown events.
The Grand Prix, Pride, and major convention weekends bring elevated arrest volume across the city.
A county inmate search in the first hours after a Long Beach arrest can legitimately come back empty — and the gap runs longer here than in smaller cities.
Local holds are not guaranteed to stay local. If a transfer downtown is going to happen, it can happen quickly — call as soon as you know about the arrest.

View pageBooking & Transfer Process
What actually happens after a Long Beach Police Department arrest.
Arrest By Long Beach PD
Long Beach has its own police department — one of the largest municipal forces in the region — so the arrest, the report, and the booking all start with the city rather than the Sheriff's Department.
Booking At 400 W. Broadway
Identification, property, and paperwork happen at the department's headquarters facility. At this volume, booking alone can take several hours at peak times.
Bail Set From The County Schedule
Even a city booking uses the Los Angeles County bail schedule, so a figure exists immediately and a bond can be posted without waiting for arraignment.
Local Hold At The City Facility
Long Beach holds defendants locally before any transfer into county custody. In a city this size, the window before transfer is the best opportunity to resolve bail quickly.
Transfer To The Inmate Reception Center
When a transfer happens, men route to 450 Bauchet Street downtown and women to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood — adding a full county intake on top of the city booking.
Arraignment At The Deukmejian Courthouse
Cases are heard at 275 Magnolia Avenue, where a judge can adjust bail or grant own-recognizance release.
How To Post Bail At The Long Beach Jail
Premium on a California bail bond is set by the rate filed with the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800. The starting bail figure comes from the Los Angeles Superior Court’s felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, adopted under Penal Code §1269b, and review or reduction of that figure runs under Penal Code §1270.1.
Posting while someone is still at the West Broadway facility is always the fastest path — it ends the matter locally and skips county intake entirely, which matters more in Long Beach than anywhere else in this directory.
Nobody needs to drive to downtown Long Beach. Paperwork, signatures, and payment happen remotely, and we post the bond wherever the defendant actually is.
The premium is set by California law at 10 percent of the bail amount, and we write payment plans, no-collateral bonds, and no-money-down options against it.
Qualifying cosigners can start as low as 1% down on approved credit.
If A Court Date Is Missed After Release
A bond written for the Long Beach jail stays live through every appearance until the case resolves. A missed date can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day, with a limited statutory window to bring the defendant back before the forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner.

Which courthouse hears a Long Beach case?
The Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse at 275 Magnolia Avenue — confirmed direct jurisdiction over Long Beach and Signal Hill.
Why is a Long Beach booking slower than other cities?
Scale. Long Beach has 466,742 residents — nearly five times the next-largest city in this directory — and its booking operation handles port, downtown, and citywide arrest volume around the clock. Processing takes hours at peak times.
Why can't I find my relative in the county inmate locator?
Because the county system only shows people already booked into county custody. Someone held at the Long Beach facility has no county record yet — and in a city this size, that gap can run longer than elsewhere.
My relative was arrested in Signal Hill — is this the right page?
Signal Hill has its own police department, but Signal Hill cases are heard at the same Deukmejian Courthouse. If the arrest was by Long Beach PD, this page applies.
Can I post bail before a transfer to county jail?
Yes, and it is the fastest path by far in a city this size. Bail is set from the county schedule immediately after booking, so a bond can be posted while the defendant is still at West Broadway — avoiding a full second intake downtown.
